WINNIE Q - Clementon, NJ

OK, so it's not a Happy Hour, but the food and price is so right that you'll be happy all day. AND it's a BYOB!!   Winnie Q is a great new place for ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI that is both affordable and delicious. If you like Sushi Kingdom in Marlton, NJ, then you're going to LOVE Winnie Q. The quaint and nicely decorated restaurant is located in a strip store on Blackwood Clementon Rd. Because it's one of the few tenants in a largely unpopulated group of stores, it may go un-noticed, but if you make the effort to find it, you'll be well rewarded.
the sushi bar is awesome, and other tables are cozy and well appointed. The whole atmosphere is very zen.

If you opt for the ALL YOU CAN EAT menu, the choices are from soups, salads, appetizers, rolls, nigiri, katzus, teriyaki preps, tempuras, and of course desserts. It is quite an extensive list to choose from, and all of the items are notable. On this outing, we chose a selection of appetizers. The age tofu was exceptionally silky and smooth. It melts in your mouth. The kani (crab meat) salad is out of this world, and a hands down favorite. Perfectly seasoned and spicy, with panko topping to add just the right amount of crunch. I don't think you'll be able to eat just one!

We also ordered a series of SPECIAL ROLLS. All of the food is made to order, so while it's still wonderful service, orders may take a little time to arrive at your table. Everything is prepared and presented just right.
The first to arrive --- the Crunchy Roll.

Tempura shrimp and avocado inside, with crab meat and eel sauce on top. Delicious!!!

Next was the HOUSE SPECIAL ROLL.  Just a wonderful combination of flavors, textures, warm and cold. A must have roll.

A picture says a thousand words, and this sushi tastes as good and better than it looks. .

At less than $20 pp for an all you can eat QUALITY sushi, this place ROCKS! The food is fab, the place is clean, the ambiance is nice and the staff is friendly and polite. If you don't go, you'll never know what you are missing. Tell Winnie we sent you.  Arigato!
